Something is cooling...
It took me almost a day to bake it, and now I have to wait for 2 more days before I can slice it.
🤞🤞🤞
What a torture!

Making us wait as you wait. Lol
I had the same towels in Canada a few years back. Gave them to Mom and....were you at her yard sale? Nevermind. Like those towels.
I have a similar towel draped over my oven door handle right now.
Yippee what are you hiding under your towel, it must be something amazing for this big reveal.

during this long wait (2 to 4 days) - sorta like when someone is going through an extended fast!
If I fast while I wait, I'll be a few pounds lighter in a couple of days.😄
I got these towels from Daiso a few years back. I also have a pink one. The combination of these three colors looked so pretty that I had to bring them home.
I hope whatever is under those towels is well worth the wait Yippee, give us some clues.
😄😄😄

Pumpernickel?
How is the fast going, hope not too hard. So, you can tell us now? Truly!
I'm not too optimistic about this bake either. I've been staring at it from time to time in the past week, and I'm afraid to cut it!
Honestly, I regret being lazy and not going out to get an oven bag to bake it in. It had a steam bath all the way, and I am unsure whether that would hurt the loaf - making it too moist. So I'm procrastinating and debating...when to cut it.

The best cure for regret and apprehension is curiosity :)
Taste, texture, aroma... what led to it... planning what to try next time... all the fun parts of the brain get activated.
So we're all curious with you! Let's find out :)
Yes I agree with David, be curious and learn from this bake. You may be pleasantly surprised at how great it turned out. Yippee it certainly looks beautiful.

and I bet it tastes good too!
Waiting on that crumb shot. (I baked my last orange cake in that same bundt pan. Wish I had layered it with the glazed orange rings first.). Nice shape.

New verse...
Proud comes the blushing bake, dark rye await on plate. The bread is in the post, it's such a pretty post. And as the knife comes near the crumb, the bloggers begin to sing. ..
(R) Does your chewing gum loose its flavour on the bedpost overnight? If your mother says, "Don't swallow it!" Do you swallow it in spite? Can you catch it on your tonsils? Can you heave it left and right? (Eee, Eee)
Does your chewing gum loose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?
I'll wait until I bake another one and then cut both at the same time. If the first one messes up, I deserve it because I didn't follow the instructions.

:) But what is it suppose to be? What's in it?
Cut into cubes and dip in dark chocolate! Or better yet...soak the cubes in orange liquor and then dip in chicolate.
I’m sure you’re right.
:). Lol. Stay tuned to find out.
It's all rye: rye berries, coarse and fine rye flour, and rye flakes.
What do you think it is?![😊](https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/14.0/1f60a/32.png)

It's been sitting here for two weeks. I need to throw it out or freeze it. It has a pleasant, pronounced tartness, but the texture is off. When I re-bake it, I have to reduce hydration, use an oven bag, etc. But I am not in the mood to re-bake it - the long bake stresses me out.
It strained my meat slicer, so I just crushed/ripped/tore it by hand.
Altus for sure. Chop it, hack it, crumble it by hand, food process it... get the chunks into bags and freeze them.
Then to improve colour and flavour of any dough (even simple white yeast breads) just take out a handful and:
I did tthe poolish for my fluffy altus bread. My altus had some extremely hard chunks and some soft moist ones but the altus bread was great.

I agree, keep it for altus for a future bake Yippee. I did the same with my last rye bake months ago that I wasn't enamoured with.

long around here. Usually gone in the first 36 hours.
